Couple of questions-
1. What horse is your 454?
2. It looks like you haven't had the boat that long, why are you selling?
3. What is the top speed?

I'm no I/O pro and can truely only tell you for sure that it is a 454 MAG, I was told that it was 345 HP but I'm not certain.

I can tell you for sure that it runs 69.3 on GPS. That's with a worked 23p Mirage 3 blade prop.

I actually love the boat and have always thought that the 22 Classic had some of the best looking lines on the water. That's why I bought it. I have always been a catamaran / tunnel hull / outboard guy and have decided that the 22 Classic is an awesome boat, but it's not the boat for me. I need to cruise at 80 and be near the 100MPH mark for WOT. I have had 4 boats that ran over 100 and I'm not looking to run that again but I'd like to be close.

I will tell you one thing that I thought would never happen, the Donzi has converted me to be an I/O guy. I love the reliability, the deep rumble, the silence at times (with the silent choice exhaust), and the lack of 2 stroke oil smoke that the I/O provides. The Donzi, in reality may be on of the coolest boats I'll ever own. My brother said it best, "It's like having the sweetest classic car with big block sound. It get's more respect at the gas station and in the marinas than most huge V-hulls and no one can deny it's looks". He'll be dissapointed to know I'm selling it.

I am looking for a 26' American Offshore or 25 Talon with I/O power. My OB friends think I have fallen off the deep end but I now prefer the I/O. If you here of anything out there or know of anyone that may be selling theirs, please send them my way.

The Donzi looks to be sold, I am currently waiting on a deposit.

Here's a pic of the motor. Totally stock 1996 454 Mag. I'm sure that someone out there know much more than I do about the actual HP. I know that it runs extremely well and sounds great.
